Using my ever dependable point & shoot cam the LX3; I placed it right under the Bamboos and set the dial for the High Dynamic scene more (or the built in HDR mode); No more multiple exposures or tonemapping, it’s all taken care of by the camera 🙂 A few people looked weird at me while doing this shot, but I couldn’t care less 😛 Gear: Lumix LX3 Settings: f4.0 | 1/500 | ISO 400 (High Dynamic Art Scene mode) […]

Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20mm Settings: f11 | 1/50 | ISO 100 Post process: Used different curves settings Applied some sharpening Adjusted vibrance and saturation Cheers! /Mike
I have been eying this phone for quite some time now, I just couldn’t think of a good angle to shoot. I saw this angle while picking up something from the floor on my way to the parking. I thought I’ll give it a click… and so I did and that’s what it looks and my fisheye gave it a twist 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10mm f2.8 Settings: f4.5 | 1/60 | ISO 100 Post processing: Manually blended […]
Dubai Internet City, or DIC is a technology park created by the government of Dubai as a free economic zone, the economic laws of DIC attracted many technology firms such as Microsoft, Canon, Siemens, IBM, Cisco, Dell, Nokia, HP, Oracle and many other IT companies. This particular shot is a man made lake which is a home for migrating birds and some small fishes. Too bad, after July I won’t see this place everyday. But, life goes on… Gear: Canon […]

This is our office building in Dubai Internet City. It’s a cool looking building if you ask me 🙂 The weatherman predicted rains the entire week, although it didn’t rain till now but, maybe later. Sky is gray and cloudy, it does really looks like it’s going to rain. I took shots of this building many times but I don’t like how it looks, until now, the fisheye lens gave me the look I was looking for 🙂 Gear: Canon […]
